X windows battery monitor?

Hey all!

Long time no see. Sorry. I got myself a new mac and now spend my time 50/50 between linux and apple environments. I&#039;ll do up some screenshots in a second

Anyway, I got the latest Xorg installed on this baby. As I unfortunately found out, Gnome on apple sucks the big one. So I&#039;ve decided to go with blackbox, as it seems to be the only wm that&#039;s not terribly broken on a mac.

Anyway, it&#039;s been a while since I&#039;ve been on the blackbox scene, and I&#039;m wondering about the following

First, is there a laptop battery monitor for blackbox? Alternatively, anything that runs in x that doesn&#039;t sit on the gnome or kde panels.

Second, does anyone know any third party xwindows applets that implement the freedesktop.org spec on the system tray? I&#039;d like to be able to minimize gaim to a smaller window such as an applet, but it seems that I&#039;m not getting any system tray icons showing up anywhere.
